Hi guys, sorry I tried to reply ages ago but for some reason the reply button wasn't there.   I checked on the other topics and it was the same. I was online for 2 days and no one posted anything, so I'm guessing it happened to you guys too.  

Anyway, about the paint. I am having problems with FS, so I can't test it anymore. Is it OK if you test it for me? JonE, I don't have your email, so if you would like to test it just post it here. Use this email, my other email isn't working: wendy27 @ emirates.net.ae (with no spaces).

About your repaint friend, if he's done the main body, lets use it! I don't mind if its from someone else. I mean, the end result is the same. Plus it would be more fair for you guys.

I've already done the engines and half of the body. JonE, ask him if he still has the textures. If he does, send them to me, I'll convert and format everything, then I'll send it to you guys who will test it. If everything is good, then we upload it on AVSIM.

Is that OK with you guys? Again, I am very sorry for all the delay this has caused.

I cheked the website and didn't find anything. 

I'm still waiting on JonE to see if he can get the textures from his friend or not.

Got the file. Hmm... this is weird, the textures are not psd formatting. I can't open them with their current formatting.  FS9 still isn't working. Every time I open it, it shuts down without giving me a Error message. I'm talking was talking with some other guys about this problem, they say that I might need to reinstall it. That's bad for me, since I'll have to reinstall all my add-ons too.

I haven't installed anything for a while now, so I don't think that's what caused the prolem. The last thing I remember was my computer installing security updates, could that have caused the problem?

I tried running it in administrator mode, but the same thing happened. It loads, the screen goes blank for a while and it then goes back to the descktop.

Ah, good idea. I should have thought about that.

A few days before it stopped working, it had been acting strange. Whenever I started a flight, my mouse would not appear. Also, some of my saved flights would disappear.

I don't know, did you install the fs 9.1 update? maybe uninstall but select the "keep my files" option, I think this would work without deleting everything but you better use a search engine like google to see. I am in the same boat as you now, i had a virus and restored my computer to factory settings, now I pay the price by reinstalling everything.

I just had another idea. Try using this, it is from flight 1 and is a registry repair tool for fs9 I don't know if it will fix your problem but it might.

I'm Rooting for you. Hope it all works out.
